Mash the Bananas and Prepare

Start preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C)

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a bowl, then set aside.

Grease a 9×5 loaf pan.

Use a whisk or fork to mix together the flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl, then set aside.

In a medium bowl, gently combine the mashed banana, eggs, yogurt, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla, then whisk until smooth.

Combine the Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to mix, until just combined. Do not over mix.
